Abstract:
The ice data resides in 27 volumes, 'Eisbericht Nachtrag' (C/dc 100 Ae) and 'Eisbericht Amtsblatt des Deutchen Hydrographischen Instituts', both written in German. The data contained in these books are daily ice reports in tabular and map form for Europe, USSR, Scandanavia, and Baltic and North Seas. These data cover the years 1901 to 1977. These reports include ice and navigation conditions and ... number of days of ice conditions. These data are in the form of logs from 1901-1914 and in reports and maps beginning in 1954.

These books are part of the foreign meteorological data collection held by the NOAA Central Library in Washington, DC. Information in this collection dates back to the 18th century for daily, monthly, seasonal, and annual tabular summaries, and the 19th century for weather maps. These data are the result of foreign exchange agreements, but the collection has not been updated since 1983.
